Mr. Leather Daniel Nolasco

With his second feature, Daniel Nolasco establishes himself as one of the most interesting voices in Brazilian queer cinema. It’s 2018, and the second edition of the Mr. Leather Brazil competition is about to start. After modest beginnings, the contest has become one of the country’s biggest leather parties. Entering the world of the big family of leather enthusiasts with wry humour and a certain amount of mischievousness, Nolasco alternates between observation and vignettes in which contestants proudly show off their fetish outfits and accessories. Playful, carefully composed to capture the diversity of Brazil’s gay fetish community, Mr. Leather is a tribute to freedom, community spirit and, of course, leather.
